In 1979 Jimmy Carter installed solar panels on the White House.
In 1986 Ronald Regan removed them.
This September, Bill McKibben and students from Unity College in Maine will be traveling to Washington D.C. with one of these panels to pressure President Barack Obama to reinstall solar on the White House, and to follow this symbolic gesture with substantial legislative action.
Join McKibben, Unity College students, the solar panel, and local organizations in Boston to show that Massachusetts supports a clean energy future! Questions: caroline.wooten89@gmail.com or 781 835 8185
